Mr. Speaker, the government and the Prime Minister would like to create a false choice between our values and our interests. I would say this. When the Prime Minister ignores our fundamental values and fails to address critical issues of human rights, and when he allows strategic domination of key sectors by a strategic adversary, then we leave ourselves vulnerable in the long term. We undermine our interests in the long term.
I would like to know when the government actually plans on implementing the foreign interference legislation that it previously brought forward after much pressure from the Conservatives. When does it plan to seriously deal with the issues of foreign interference, the ongoing detention of Canadians and the effort to strategically dominate key sectors? These things are not in line with our values or our interests.
